Currently using REPSOL COMPETIZIONE ELITE but will be switching to MOTUL V300 CHRONO from now on.

Someone i know blew there oil filter out and ran with no oil from the gabba to tingalpa and was up it quite a bit a lot of the way as didn't realize had no oil left in motor.

The workshop pulled the motor down and said why did you want us to look at it and didn't believe he had run without oil as was perfect. Not a thing wrong !!!

He was using MOTUL V300 CHRONO when this happened.

Is enough to convince me that this oil is the stuff to get.

this 'gal' uses (and recommends) Target Premium Brand...costs $7.99 for 8 litres...........stuff paying $25-$30 like the rest of you guys (and gals)!!!

By the way, the grocery guy at Target rekons 20-50w is pretty good!

mmmm.................

Seriously.........Like everything in life you get what you pay for....just get the first number right!

Shaun,

your baby will be just fine!!

I love this stuff, and so do a lot of other people.

Never actually heard a bad word about it!

      I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.

      We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.

      Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)

      Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
